New York Mets Podcast #23
The Mets have their first 3 and 4 game losing streak of the year, getting swept by the Red Sox and then dropping the first game of the Yankees series. The team was suffering from anemic bats, poor fielding, nagging injuries and maybe the dog days of summer too. They certainly had their chance against the Yanks on Friday night with Orlando Hernandez going seven strong despite a rain delay. The Mets got nothing going against Mike Mussina or the Yankees bullpen.
Nice win on Saturday with the Mets roughing up the old unit. Reyes and Wright just keep paying dividends along with surprising contributions by Paul LoDuca and Ramon Castro. Trachsel is scary but gets out of the jams to win his seventh game. Wagner finishes but both Wagner and Trachsel may be dealing with lower extremity injuries.
Eight games against Pittsburgh and the 2nd place (for now anyway) Florida Marlins before the All Star break. Hopefully Nady, LoDuca, Delgado and others nagging with injuries can get some rest and recover for a strong second half of the season.
Brian from Rockland County phones in a couple of comments. Plus some comments off of the blog.
Take a moment to join the map and do me the favor of nominating this podcast for a Podcast Award under the Sports category.
